Trainwreck

Synopsis
A raunchy yet heartfelt comedy from director Judd Apatow about Amy (Amy Schumer), a commitment-phobic binge drinker living in New York City, who must reevaluate her feelings about intimate relationships when a sports doctor pursues a romance with her.

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "In the lead role and as screenwriter -- with director Judd Apatow expertly harnessing her energy, not taming it -- Schumer is a whole summer of comic fireworks wrapped in one ballsy package..." (Rolling Stone)

"[I]’s a movie you want to wrap your arms around, or at least give a high five....It's no surprise Schumer consistently brings the laughs in her debut as a feature film lead." (Chicago Sun-Times)

"[I]t’s a real, and ultimately rewarding, piece of work. A big-studio romantic comedy infused with actual human feeling is just as rare an accomplishment as the perfect comedy sketch." -- Grade: B+ (A.V. Club)

3 stars out of 4 -- "[Apatow has] made his most emotionally vulnerable film yet, with a deft balance of bawdy humor and blossoming heart." (RogerEbert.com)

"Stand-up comedian and Comedy Central phenom Amy Schumer proves her cinematic bona fides in TRAINWRECK, a strikingly assured feature film debut in which she proves herself as authentic an actress as she is deft as a writer." (Washington Post)

"Schumer and Hader are terrifically appealing together, in part because they aren’t cut from the standard movie-romance cloth, and because Schumer doesn’t give them standard movie-romance obstacles to overcome..." (Variety)

"[O]ften extremely funny....[Apatow] creates a roomy, comfortable vehicle stuffed with second bananas, who support Ms. Schumer as she tosses out jokes, pops her eyes, deploys her deadpan and shows off her gift for old-school physical high jinks..." (New York Times)

"The film is at its funniest during the first half when Schumer unapologetically cuts loose." (Total Film)

4 stars out of 5 -- "Schumer’s whip-smart delivery and no-holds perkiness keeps it all in place." (Empire)
